Constant Dullaart
GOETHE/SPACE PERLIN NOISE – SOUND ART RESIDENCY 2013/14

Constant Dullaart is conceptual artist. His practice is focused on visualizing internet language and software dialects. During his London residency, he used Wi-Fi routers as a performative medium.
 

He researched the possibilities of intercepting and intervening with electronic communication by strategically placing specific Wi-Fi routers around London. Dullaart offered free Wi-Fi with a twist, by providing site-specific internet performances on mobile devices. People were forced to see certain websites and experience the controlled web on their mobile devices.
 
Constant Dullaart, who lives and works in Berlin, adopts a political approach that is critical of the corporate systems, which influence our contemporary semantics. He is often found editing online forms of representation, and the user’s access to them, to create installations and performances that exist both online and offline.
 
His work has been published internationally in print and online, and exhibited at venues such as MassMOCA, UMOCA the New Museum in New York, Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Autocenter in Berlin, and de Appel, W139, and the Stedelijk Museum in the Netherlands. Dullaart has curated several exhibitions and lectured at universities throughout Europe. In 2015, he was awarded the Prix Net-Art. Find more information about his work on the artist’s website.
